I wanted to talk about a really cool eyeglass company today.

L.A. Eyeworks has been designing glasses and sunglasses for a number of years now, and their funky style always shows through. These are not glasses you’ll find on everyone, everywhere. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, often with a retro twist, this is a great company to start with. The acetate colors they work with are amazing, coming in colors from crystal, and translucent green, all the way to a stunning marbled black, with veins of blues and reds. The bridges fit perfectly, and the styles are really meant to be worn, although they do some great advertising, too.

For those who don’t know, a contract for a modeling job with L.A. Eyeworks has been one of the prizes on Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

They work a lot with titanium, as well, because it’s so durable and lightweight.

L.A. Eyeworks is definitely worth a second look. And, perhaps more than that!

One of the forerunners of rimless glasses has been Silhouette. They have been designing eyeglasses for many years now, and have been designing rimless eyewear for 10 years. They have designed them with one thing at the front of their minds: protect the lenses as much as possible. Of course, when you’re making frames that are essentially invisible, and fade away, there’s not so much you can do. They have done better than any manufacturer I’ve seen in that aspect, though.

They’ve designed their frames to take as much of the stress off the lenses as possible. The frames themselves take the stress from being worn, and being taken on and off. When you pull them away from your face, you can see the frame bending, and the lenses staying exactly in place.

This may not seem as big a deal to you, but when your lenses can cost upwards of $250 per lens, and the frame costs around $95 to replace a part, you can see the benefits more easily. Of course, the frame is beta titanium, and very difficult to break. It’s nice to have that peace of mind, though.
